Bocas del Toro is among Panama's most popular attractions, and with good reasons, too. This province, located along the western Caribbean coasts of Panama, is largely based on the sea from which most interesting activities are derived from. Bocas del Toro is especially popular among scuba divers precisely for this reason. The province is part of the much larger Amistad area, a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its rich ecosystem.
Compared to the rest of the country, Hispanic influence in Bocas del Toro is relatively weak due to its isolation. Much of its Hispanic influence was only crafted in recent years. The native Ngobe and Bugle people holds the majority of the population, making up for a very rich experience if you ever decide to go here. Like much of the Caribbean region in Central America, English is widely spoken here with a mixture of the local tongue.
The coasts of Bocas del Toro is ideal for scuba diving because of its proximity to the equator, giving us temperatures of around 80 degrees all year round. This means that dive conditions are consistent and less prone to variations due to marine migration. Waves and currents are also not much of a problem since most of the dive sites are located along nearby islands. However, trade winds may be a hindrance so it is general consensus for divers to travel here between the months of September and October.
There are many ways to get to Bocas del Toro, but the most popular option would be to take a plane. Regular flights to Bocas del Toro are available from Panama City and San Jose, Costa Rica. Water taxis are also available from Changuinola and Almirante.www.realty-dejavu.com
